Centra Acute Rehabilitation Center

Centra's Acute Rehabilitation Center is a hospital-based inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) whose goal is to restore functional ability and quality of life to those recovering from serious illnesses, stroke, spinal cord injury, amputation and trauma. 

Centra's Acute Rehabilitation Center is the only hospital-based inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) serving Lynchburg and surrounding counties. Our goal is to restore functional ability and quality of life to those recovering from serious illnesses, stroke, spinal cord injury, amputation and trauma. The inpatient team addresses difficulties with activities of daily living and offers specialized programs that assist with eating, communication, attention, and self-care.  

Our team includes specially trained physicians and nurses, physical, occupational and speech therapists, social workers, nutritionists and wound care specialists. 

Most patients are admitted from an acute-care hospital. To be admitted, prior hospitalization is not required; however, a significant medical need must be present.  Patients must be medically stable with the potential to improve and have the ability to start a rehabilitation program.  

Acute Rehab is committed to exceeding standards for safety, value and quality. We are accredited by The Joint Commission and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services and designated as Stroke Rehabilitation Certified and The Joint Commission.
